It’s March and that means it is time for another wonderful challenge over at The Flower Challenge. This month is an easy one:
Remember to use florals as your main image and check out the rest of the Design Team’s beautiful creations.
For my card I started by stamping the Altenew Hope set. I focused on the flowers first and layered the with the Cherry Blossom ink. I love the ink combinations that Altenew has as it takes all the guess work out. I actually stamped these in my MISTI and needed three thank you cards so it was easy to mass produced them.
Once I was done stamping the flowers, I masked the image and focused on the leaves using Deep Sea Blues. I thought the blue and pinks would look fun together.
Once the ink was dry, I ran the panels and white foam through my die cut machine. Glue the foam on to the thanks was a little tricky and I had problems lining up my first one. So I used some Glad Press & Seal on the front of the card to hold the die cut and the card in place. I then was able to flip the card over and line up the foam piece to the die cut thanks perfectly. Once the glue was dry, I removed the thanks, and glued down the card panel onto a card base.
I added sparkle pen to the sentiment and then some glossy accents to help it stand out a bit. Then to finish them, I added some sequins and now have some thank you cards to give to some friends who have helped me out the past month.
Thanks for stopping by and check the Design Team’s beautiful cards here.
